Well, the title of this thread is pretty self-explanatory. I've only seen cardtoon 1 (card comes out of hat, animated). what does 2 do and above all, which do you prefer? I won't buy both, so help me choose if possible. Thanks.

In version 2, the stick man is shot out of a cannon. I personally perfer Fart-toon. He eats a taco and farts out the selected card

I have Cartoon 1 and 2,
I like Cartoon 1 better.
After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one.

I prefer Card Toon 2. The cannon shot is a beautiful integration of circus comedy and magic.

If you just out to know what it looks like: check penguin magic out for it. they have a short demo clip for both! I like bozh of them. but pulling something out of a hat is always a little more magic, so I think I like the first one a little bit more

It is essentially the same; you can buy both if you want to repeat the effect with another out.

I have all three, and honestly, I have to say good old number one, the original, is probably your best bet. Use the other two for follow up.
I have two decks of number one. If you want to buy it, PM me.

Out of them all, I would go for cardtoon one. I thaught it was a lot more clear than 2, and I haven't had farttoon.
I will probably make my own version in the summer, as I used to animate a lot. it would give it that personal touch too |

I only own Cardtoon 1, but I can't imagine there is a huge difference in audience reaction between 1 and 2. If you'd like the card pulled out of a hat, then go with 1. If you'd like the cannon animation go with 2. The ads say version 2 is simplified, but honestly, there is nothing hard about version 1, so again, I just can't imagine the benefit of one over another. Pick for the picture you like. Practice, and both will be equally entertaining for your audience.

I have both versions and like number 1 the best. To me, both animations are clear but version one is more understandable for most audiences. People are used to magicians pulling things out of hats. The handling is the same for both versions so it really doesn't matter which you get.

Personally, I prefer Cardtoon 1 because of the fact that he pulls the card out of his hat. Although I suppose Cardtoon 2 and Fart-toon would be funny if your going for a comedy magician routine.

I saw Dan Harlan perform "Fartoon" using a big screen projector at a convention and everybody loved it. For the right crowd, it's a killer. But, IMO, Cardtoon 1 is still the best.

I highly recommend that you look up the effect called Animator. It's by David Harkey. It can be found in his book, "Simply Harkey". It's a phenonenally better effect than Cardtoon.
You show a deck of cards - faces all different, backs all clean - and have one selected, noted, and returned to the deck. You proceed to draw a stick figure holding a paintbrush on the back of the top card. Then, as you flip the deck like the pages of a book, the stickman comes to life, animating as he seemingly sinks into the deck, and drawing an "X" with his paintbrush. Once he has stopped and is leaning confidently against his "X", you remove that card. It is the selected card, with the stickman drawing permanently on the back. You can give this to the spectator to keep. The backs of all the other cards are immediately shown to be clean and ordinary.
It's all in the reflexes.

Fart-toon is no longer available. From what I understand, they only printed a limited number of these decks and have issued no more. I have it and really enjoy performing for my sick friends! If you're performing for a more refined crowd, Card-toon 1 is the way to go, as it is easier to follow. (Fart-toon is easy to follow, too!)
I have Toony-Angel, and, while cute, I don't think it has the impact of the Harlan versions. |
